This dataset includes biological, chemical, current measurements, navigational, optical, physical, profile, and underway data collected aboard the R/V F.G. Walton Smith during cruise WS24095 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2024-04-03 to 2024-04-05. These data include CONDUCTIVITY, CURRENT SPEED - EAST/WEST COMPONENT (U), CURRENT SPEED - NORTH/SOUTH COMPONENT (V), DEPTH - BOTTOM, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR), SALINITY, WATER DENSITY, WATER TEMPERATURE, course over ground, speed over ground, and surface irradiance. The instruments used to collect these data include ADCP, CTD, GPS, PAR Sensor, echo sounder, and oxygen sensor. These data were collected by Ryan Smith of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, and by University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science as part of Western Boundary Time Series - Florida Straits 27N Bimonthly Cruises. The Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program submitted these data to NCEI.

A suite of navigation products produced by R2R is included in this dataset, comprised of one high resolution, one 1 minute resolution, and one low resolution coordinate file. The CTD data submitted by the originator represent the raw data suite. R2R provides a processed version of the CTD data. The ADCP data represent the raw dataset. Post processed quality assessed data are not available in this dataset.
